Not that I take much precedence over things Kokonut says, he makes sense on this one, therefore I have started a thread about Tofu.

I am in need of knowing how to prepare it and cook it. I have not had any luck over the past 5 years of trying and have all but given up, but I still want to try it.

Any ideas? Maybe we could share tips and recipes.

way too many to list. I love tofu.

boiled. cooked. scrambled. etc.
 
Did you notice how the cost of tofu when up! I use to eat it a lot when I was a vegetarian . now you can buy chocolate tofu. That sound really Gross!
 
I love Tofu stirfried with fish sauce and lemongrass. It is a classical Vietnamese dish.
 
I am still following this and will attempt some soon. Our tofu here in town, I don't think went up much, but then, it's very hard to find any soy products here at all. I have to go to Publix. WalSh*t doesn't have anything around here.
 
Reviving this thread as I will be using tofu more and more due to my dairy free restrictions that I am now on.
 
I'd make some Greek salad with fried, baked or steamed tofu... *I love tofu!!!* Yummy!!!
 
I adore tofu. The Vegetarian Goddess cookbook has a tofu salad (think egg salad) recipe that is so delicious that I have converted TX meateaters.

Drain your tofu, wrap it and place a light weight on it. When no more moisture comes out, slice it and chicken fry it.

Saute veggies and add drained, crumbled tofu. Scramble it like eggs. If you like it yellow a bit of turmeric is the trick.

Place the entire box in the freezer. Sometime later, defrost it, opened, in a colander. Drain completely and gently squeeze it dry. It will be much like a sponge. Make a marinade with minced garlic, soy, worcestershire, pepper and a dash of red wine or a drop or two or red wine vinegar. Marinate the tofu, tossing lightly. Saute onion slivers in olive oil until almost soft. Chunk up your tofu and add it to the onions. Toss and stirfry. From the pan drippings, using a bit of the marinade, make a light brown gravy using the cornstarch method. Serve all, lightly tossed over hot rice or noodles.
Someone told me that this was the most tender beef they ever tasted.

Try tofu bulgogi. It is rocking.

Regardless of your feeling pro or con about Peta, they have a free vegetarian cookbook that is available online. It has a chocolate tofu recipe that is wonderful. Think of French Silk or chocolate mousse.

Happy adventures!
 
Good Diet!!! :)

I love chopping small squares of Tofu *firm* ... cooking it with nonstick pot until tofu squares get light brown and crispy...

Let it cool then use it topping on caesar, greek, thai or your own salad instead croutons, bacon etc....

It can put in storage box or plastic bag with paper towel and up to one week in ref.! :thumb:
